Opera. I protagonisti del melodramma

Music, painting, sculpture, architecture; lyric opera gather together different languages in a multi-sensorial experience. Its story is linked and influenced by historical, political, social and economic factors and its development goes through multiple steps involving multiple people: clients, contractors, composers, singers, costume designers, scenographers and finally the public.

The exhibition is a tribute to Venice, as the place where the melodrama was born, and to Italy as the motherland of the most renowned names of opera’s history.
